Thank you for your question. Sounds like you have had quite a journey during the last seven years. I'm sorry it got so rough between you and your ex and that his addiction to pain pills got so severe before he would get help for the problem.
Is he in some sort of rehab or treatment? Did he go through a detoxification?
Does he attend meetings? Or is he trying to go it alone?
Has he stopped using the pain pills altogether now?
I found a lot of information about how long-term use of painkillers affects some organs in the body, but not about how much those organs can recover and how much damage can be reversed. I'd like to submit your question to one of our experts; check back here in a few days and see what we've been able to find out, OK?
